So the assistant pocketed the money for the ticket, they never gave them also.

Looks like a script for a film to me "Gone is the Win "

[SIRandyraven]

Or Dumb and Dumber do the lotto

[Macallan]

You can't blame the old couple.

[SIRandyraven]

Why ?
They should have checked the ticket when handed to them.
It's typical modern England isn't it. Everybody else's fault

[Macallan]

I buy mine for 3 draws all at the same time and to be honest never check them till after each draw.

Might have to start after reading this.

Sounds like the assistant at my local Co-Op, she always does daft things like that. She once gave a bloke £80 free credit on his phone because she thought the top-up machine was broke (till roll thingy was empty) and kept entering the sale.

[Hopkirk]

No sympathy.

[Kakurol]

the papers use the word elderly to refer to anyone over the age of 50, it doesnt mean that the couple are senile

[Macallan]

The till at the shop should be a pound up.

I feel really sorry for them, but a few weeks back there was an article about a couple who had to choose between nappies and the lottery, chose nappies and they would have won but two years later they did actually win the jackpot.
Are the lottery people going to compensate them ?

[ummmm]

^^^Presuming there was no other 'mistakes' that day.

So it's now wrong to assume that the person serving you competent at their job...

"Give them a bottle of wine and tell them to go away " sounds like what Basil Fawlty would say . What charm school did he go to.Camalot cant do anything or the flood gates will open .Do See u Bob in Irish national today he has a slightly better chance than we have of winning lottery.

A couple who had to choose between nappies and the lottery? Surely that's a wind-up?

[ummmm]

It could be a decision between pampers and a cheaper brand!!
